An old specimen with the old quality of purple phantoms and sharp, distinct crystals we know and love from the famous YGX mine in China. This specimen has sharp crystals, highly translucent, to just under 3 cm. It is almost a true killer, and has the "look" of a more expensive piece from the front. It has one missing corner in back, contacted with a slight bit of damage, but this is taken into account for the price and gives a strong look for a Chinese purple fluorite in the price range.
